Hi everyone,
I got two Silver Phantoms and a Dialog right after they came out in the US, I guess it was late 2015 or so. After all the trials and tribulations of getting them setup and working without error, I finally settled in and have enjoyed them for years. I hadn't needed to check back here in quite some time either. But I got an email on 3/24/21 from Devialet about a software update that features Airplay 2 and RAAT from Roon. I've been using Spark the whole time but as I dove in I realized there is a new Devialet app, which looks like it leads to a full on update of my Phantoms and Dialog. When it reminds me the update is irreversible, I come here and stumbled onto the DOS 1 vs DOS 2 talk, and now I'm simply trying to ask you guys: Should I do this update? I have a fairly old Phantoms, they sound pretty good.... I really only use Spotify Connect or an optical cable for my TV. Airplay would be cool I guess but the Spotify Connect (generally) works pretty well. I'm all about an update that makes things better, but as an Apple iPhone user, I have learned it's not always best to do updates. It would be fun to use a new app rather than Spark, but I don't know.
My dialog and Phantoms are Firmware 1.14.0.18.
Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.
